P#30: A Scenic Photograph of a Colorful Autumn Lane
Let the Lensbaby take you down a beautiful autumn lane
This amazing shot of a colorful autumn lane really draws you in down the road. How did Kathleen create such a magical effect? Here she explains how the Lensbaby does all the work for you.
Drawing You In
Kathleen Clemons: This picture of an autumn lane was taken on one of my favorite side roads off the road to my house. It's called Bear Paw Lane. I think it's a magical road and I have so many ideas of shots I want to do on this road that I haven't been able to do yet. (click the image for a larger version)
I shoot this seasonally and always with the Lensbaby. I have wonderful winter shots, spring shots, autumn shots, and they're never the same. This is with the Composer. I took that one last month.
Audri Lanford: What kind of an aperture would you have on this one?
Kathleen Clemons: The autumn lane was shot with an f4. I feel like the Lensbaby just draws your eye right down the road.
Audri Lanford: It really does. I'm surprised at that.
Kathleen Clemons: I love the effect on the leaves because I don't need to see every leaf and I think that the blur helps to pull your eye into the shot.
To Sum Up
Not all photographs are created equal. Any other picture of this autumn lane might not draw you in the way this one does. What created such a magical effect? According to Kathleen Clemons, the Lensbaby has everything to do with the success of this photograph.
